I didn't specify folks had to be right! I entered everyone who wanted to (Shimp indicated she didn't want to be entered) the old fashioned way. We put the names & # on slips of paper & my sis pulled the winner out of a cup.
And she pulled - Number 7! Lisa of South View Farm!
I'm posting that to you, Lisa. We'll email & make arrangements.
The first item was a bed warmer. In the days before electric mattress pads or blankets they would put coals from the fire in this & rub it between the sheets to warm the mattress before climbing in. (No heat in the bedrooms in those days, either.)
The second is a darning egg. I was most surprised by Kelle's answer. I didn't know anyone still darns socks. I do know it takes some talent for if you don't do it well it creates calluses.
The third is a button hook for shoes. It is quite heavy as those buttons on the shoes were stiff & hard to pull thru the leather.
Thank you all for entering & taking the time to read my humble blog. Wish i could give away gifts to all. Miessence is really wonderful.

Congratulations to the winner.
I like the bed warmer. Its like a covered frying pan.
Just like we have our hot water bottles.
Congrats and this was fun - my mom still has that darning egg somewhere. She's probably hiding it thinking I'm going to bean a sibling!
Thank you so much! I new right away what the first one was and the last one but the second one being as I am no sewer had no idea. But now I do! Thank you again:)
